Still is with me. tireless ever:
Friend or foe-whoe'er meet.
This companion leaves me never.
Keeping step with somdless feet.
Looking at it. am lonely.
For a stranger still il seems:
Though il follows meme only,
Yet. as something seen in dreams.

Whittier all its steps do tend:
All its features hidden under
Wells no ehangeful winds can rend.
Can no pain nor passion move thee,
q my comradeg am tossed
by the tempests sent to prove me-
On thy calm their wrath is lost.
Come thou nesr. my patient lover.
Let me whisper that see
What no other may discover
Change at last has come to thee.
Once thy feet were swift beside me
Not hill too high to climb;
From the heat thou didst not hide thee.
Naught TO thee were space and time
Light as air, saw thee dancing
Down the pathway where | strayed.- -
Dost thou see the night advancing!
Art thou of the dark afraid?
Canst thou hear me, lover, stranger?

Am become as changed as thou;
Yet my heart leaps ON before me;
New stars burn within the sky;
Courage, courage! !! implore thee,-

A SENSATION.

The latest sensation has been the
marriage of Mile. Helene Bette dc
Rothschild to the Baron Van Zuylcn
van llaar, of Belgium, says Paris let
ter. It was very quiet affair, only
the relatives and most intimate friends
of the bride and bridegroom being
present. II il now some months since
Nile. Helene, the greatest heiress in
Europe, packed her trunks and went
down to Compeignc with all her reti-
nue. of servants, equipages, dogs and
horses, to say nothing Of her governess
and her lady companion, to stay at the
house of the aged physician of the fam
lily, DIR. Raymond, and from thence TO
launch the "three respectful summons
required by French law as IA prellmi-
nary to matrimony without parental
consent at her mother, the widowed
Baroness solomon. There is not a
solitary objection TO be made to Baron
van llarr. except that he is IA Christian
and Catholic, and by no means
wealthy. AS to the latter disqualitica-
ton, II might have been overlooked, |
think, as the lady's fortune amounts to
fully $12,O0O000, with as much in pros
pect when the mother dies. She is
sure to inherit the latter fortune, de-
spite the wrath of the old lady at the
marriage, for, by the provision of the
Code Napoleon, no parent can disin-
herit child.
The baroness gave IN SO far as TO ac-
cord at last nominal consent to the
nuptials, but she was not present at
the wedding, and has, II is said, already
Inferred in efligy her disobedient
daughter with all the solemn formali-
ties of Jewish rites. She is one of the
most bigoted in religious matters of
all that bigoted family, and has not for
years past so much as spoken to her
two sisters, both of whom married
scions of the French nobility.

IAbedeen Exaniner.l

The United States Supreme Court,
on October oath. affirmed the decision
of the Court of Claims denying the
right of the treasury department to
withhold the five per cent. of next
sales of public lands within the States
of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama,
on account of their failure to settle
their alleged quotas of Federal direct
war tax. These five per cent. pay
ments that should have gone direct to
the States have ever since the war been
covered into the United States treas
ury. and amount TO very large sums,
probably hundred and fifty thousand
dollars in the case of Mississippi. The
effect of the decision will be to give
us without question all amounts ac-
cruing hereafter, but il will require an
act of congress TO release to the several
States the moneys already covered into
the National treasury.

Mayor Hewitt has written a letter
declining to deliver speeches in the
Democratic campaign in this city. but
he declares himself in favor OF the
Democratic ticket. and asserts that the
Endorsement of Mr.. MARITIME. Demo-
cratic nominee for one of the judge
ships. and the nomination of Delaney
NicOl, a Democrat, for district attorney.
by the Republicans, is for the purpose
of creating division in the Democra-
tic ranks, with view of preparing for
1888. Tie says he is opposed to the
dietatiOn of political bosses. and asserts
that there is danger that the political
parties of the city are about to be sub
iected to more dictatorial bOssism
from the newspapers.

An OPEN QUESTION.

Dear Sr--I wish to open a question

The settlement OF 1850.

As IL might be inferred from the let
ter of Senator George, that the govern
ing body of the University of Mississip-
pi. viz: The Trustees make, or intend
to make, further claim on the State,
on account of the Congressional endow
mcnt fund, the undersigned deem 1t
proper to say. that it has never been
the purpose of the Trustees to reopen
the settlement of 1880, regarding II as
final that it has been so regarded by
them, and they intend to respect the
settlement. and have always believed
that they were bound to respect it !;
and further, that by no act of theirs,
or utterance rs individuals, or as a
body, have they authorized any further
claim to be made in behalf of the Uni
versity, nor have they regarded the in
sertion of the particular matter in the
catalogue of 1887, which is assumed to
be a claim by the University, as poses
sing that character.

Incident of the Tour.

The only unpleasant incident which
occurred here was the defacing in q
small way of the Presidents private
car. Mr.. was arrested and ta-
ken before Esquire A. 4. summer,
upon the charge Of dcfacing and dam
aging the Presidents car. lie pleaded
guilty. and further stated that he did
not intend to violate the law or TO offer
insult or injury 60 the President; said
he came from South Carolina espeei-
ally to see him: that he was a Demo-
crat, and lived in Spartanburg county,
and having tailed to get q good look
at the President, he wanted o chip off
his car to remember him by. The
Judgment of the court was in these
words. 1t is adiudged by the court
that the defendant pay fine of five
dollars. in order that lie may more
ieelingly and tenderly remember the
President and his beautiful wife, and
at the same time aid the school fund

considered an interference, however,

the newspaper extracts which you en-
close totally misrepresent my wishes
and hopes in regard to the fate of the
Democratic local ticket. shall be
very much pleased to see ii entirely
successful. know nothing which, il

siderable personal satisfaction. Please

Hewitt npon his excellent letter pub
lished this morning.
Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND,
The letter referred to is the one in
which Mayor Hewitt said he foresaw
more danger to the community from
newspaper bosses than from political
ones. The presidents letter was read
at Democratic meeting tonight.

For ten years past there has stood in
the corner Of the billiard Room of the
principal hotel in this town a rickety old
card table. Its worthlessness caused il
10 remain in the place during the changes
OF the hotels many proprietorships. Il
was round table covered with An oil
gray army blanket, tackled to the edge
through long strip OF leather. AT reg
uiar distances were four pieces of tin
clumsily nailed down for the PLAYERS to
lay their lighted cigars on. In late
years its four rudeIy made legs we're so
shaky that no one cared to teeter his
chips on the table, and it was chiefly used
by the guests to throw their coats and
hats on when they went to their meals,
For long time the present proprietor
always ssid when he looked at the table
that be intended to clear it out to-mor-
row and get a new one," but somehow
this was not done unit. lately; perhaps
then only because people began to tear
their coats on the nails, and their inn
promptu remarks on the subject tended
to complicate matters.
1t was after double-barrel explosion
OF this kind the other dav that the pro-
prletor told his bartender to cut the cover
of the table and make kindling wood of
the cussed thing. The bartender whipped
out his knife and began to carve the
blanket. He had just made one savage
slash and had started second when his
knife struck against something metallic.
He then ripped the cover off and found
steel plate nine inches long and
six inches wide, which was set flush
into the table. The plate was abou.
foot from the edge. and pierced
with dozen holes. Every one wondered
what 1t was for, and an old townsman re-
membered that the table had been brought
there from Virginia City gears ago, and
presumed it was used in the early days to
play some kind of cribbage. When the
table began to be chopped up. light
was thrown on the character of the table,
tor underneath the top, concealed on a
little shelf by one of the legs, were
small battery, coils Of wire and some
complicated machinery connected with
one Of the tin plates These were cover
ed with rust and dust
Then the old townsman woke nm and
remembered seeing in the DAYS gone by
- sAs~ss AsiAOA tSA LAWS VIII 0I.UUU AT
dice on that very table from a cattle
man in about fifteen seconds, besides
picking up sundry thousands and huu,i-
reds at other times from those who were
gamblingly inclined. Two drinks also
caused the old townsman to suddenly re-
collect that Davis came down To Mnssel
Slough-as HaDfOrd was called then
from Virginia City, with big reputation
as = dip chacker," and the bows came
in from far and near to buck him. II
was said that Davis had won over $780,
600 at dice in the mines, where he was
called "Lncky Pick" As he was not
found out in his play he is .live to-day,
bnt he has changed his name and owns
big ranch in the San Joaquin Valley. So
it 10 seen that one way to wealth and re-
spectability has been for q "sure thing
man." in the discovery of . magnetic
outfit, TO do up people with dice, aud not
to get caught because he got in his work
